FINISHING OFF
The green button to the right of the unit is the START
button.
Press this to begin the electro-fusion process and
timer.
The arrow
(up and down)
buttons
are used to
alter the
welding time
displayed on the LCD display.
The LCD display will show various information
including the time selected and when welding, the time as
it counts down.
Plug the unit into its power supply and switch the
supply ON.
The LCD will prompt the user to
connect the output
leads to the fitting.
Connect the leads
ensuring a firm
positive connection is achieved.
The unit will then ask for the electrofusion time
for
the particular joint. The time information will be
found on
the joint,
enter the value using the arrow buttons.
Finally,
press the green START button to activate the
weld,
the LCD will display elapsed time.
Once
the weld is
complete, allow the joint time to
cool correctly,
based upon the information from the joint
manufacturer
before disconnecting the output leads
and proceeding to the next joint.
Never push the equipment beyond its design limits.
If it will not do what you want with reasonable ease and
speed, assume you have the wrong type or size of welder
for the job.
Ask at your local HSS Hire Weld Depot for
advice.
Keep the equipment clean.
You will find this less of a
chore if you clean it up regularly rather than wait until the
end of the hire period.
